Does Gmail Prove Web Applications Can
Work?
07/07/2004 04:10 PM

Simson Garfinkel is still a bit worried about Gmail's privacy implications, but believes it's one of the first web applications that performs like a desktop application, and believes that's what makes it really powerful. The problem many people have had with hosted applications is the speed at which they run compared to similar desktop apps. However, by using some sophisticated javascript code, Gmail loads a lot of stuff into local memory, making it quite fast, despite being a web app. Of course, there are those who believe that in doing so, Gmail also "breaks the web" in that it doesn't follow typical rules about URLs that a "true" web-based app should follow. There is also the issue, menti oned earlier today about just how safe various online applications are. Either way, it's looking like the vision of the "network computer" might finally be making a comeback. Update: As if on cue, Broadband Reports points us to a new Gmail exploit that shows how some of your info may be vulnerable.

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail


Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by a California politician to create a law that would ban Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to explain how email works, and have convinced her to tone down the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the content of your emails to put in advertising.

Does The Government Have To Prove A Need

11/04/2003 03:39 PM
Telemarketers are still fighting the national "Do Not Call" list of course, with one claiming that the government has to prove there's a "need" for such a list. It seems like the 50 million people who signed up in the course of just a couple of months suggests there is a real need, but why don't we turn that around? I would like "Mainstream Marketing Services Inc.", the company who claims this, to prove to me why there's a need for them to call me when I have no interest in being bothered.

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.
